Campaign Creations

Im an average modder. Im good with Arsenal, MPQ Draft, and I am familiar with some other aspects of more in-depth editing. ICE has never been my main ability, but ive used it in the past to make some cool, yet simple stuff like giving pylons and stargates a floating animation (like the one wraiths have when they are idle), or making corpses last longer. Though im a little bit rusty at SC modding right now hahahaha.
At trigger using im also quite good. But the main reason ive never attemped to make a campaign is just cos I suck at being creative with the stories, I dont like non voiced campaigns (Though fall from grace was voiced by a single guy, surprisingly), and i suck at map making.

But hell i love the custom campaigns of the site. I love them so much that i still play the old ones like prophecy, loct, and so very often. I really loved CI and it saddens me that it was left at the most intriguing part (I dint play it completely till recently).

Thats the reason i would like the community to make a new campaign, or finish some abandoned projects. Like the super-promising gallantry, which really surprised me, or CI. A good modder with a tool like ICE can do so fuking much... Seeing what the experienced campaign and mod creators like the guys of CC could do with the good old starcraft engine was so amazing (As anyone whos seen the CC2000 map can tell). I must say: CC Is a great community and I sure miss the old days. 

Hell it would be good if we could all work on a new project. But its so hard since we dont know each other, and we dont have the time and means to sit down and share ideas in an effective way, which is fundamental for campaign and story making, but i must say this: If the community does EVER decide to make a new project, please COUNT ME IN, cos i have some simple skills, and what I dont know, I can learn.

Actually, SC isn't even on XFire's top 10 games played list.
TFT is #10 or something.

Yes but that is my opinion. And I assume by TFT you mean frozen throne?

TFT = The Frozen Throne, ya thats what he meant.

I figured when World of WarCraft came out that it would be the top 1 game everywhere, especially Xfire. Blizzard to me makes like the best games.

Yes they do.
I just hope they give us word on what's going on with SCG because I sure as hell'd buy it.

Well all we know is that its post-poned. Until Blizzard gets "better" at working with console games such as the Xbox 360 and Playstation.

But I would totally buy that game as well. It looks pretty good, but I must say a StarCraft 2 would be more, in my mind.

I hope that Starcraft 2 will have a map editor similar to Warcraft 3.I'd like to create custom SC units instead of editing the units I have and without having to resort to modding.Though Warcraft 3 got boring after a while,the world editor was interesting.

Meh... World Editor has too much crap built into it. It's slow and unreliable - even tho I have a Mac and must resort to HEX editing at times, I much prefer modding...

Ack. I don't want a Starcraft 2:
-Think of how long Starcraft has lasted, the consider Warcraft 3. Do you really think Blizzard will be able to make a better, longer lasting game that the original Starcraft?
-Blizzard, with Warcraft 3 and WoW, has shown how bad they are at making 3D engines. Compare their 3D engine to the one in say, Command and Conquer: Generals... A 3D Starcraft game would look and run like utter crap!
-If Starcraft 2 came out, the Starcraft community would be split right down the middle. There are many that want SC2 and many that don't - It would effectively cut the gamer-base in half!

I wouldn't mind another expansion to StarCraft itself.

I agree... In fact, I'm in the early planning stage of a mod that would insert some of the concepts expected for SC2 (i.e. Protoss/Zerg hybrids, maybe Xel'Naga in some form). My idea is that someone would write a campaign and use the mod (I'm bad at campaigns )

Hmm...a THIRD race...Xel'Naga?Protoss/Zerg Hybrid?That WOULD be interesting.
Starcraft 2 would be exciting,but it would signify that Starcraft is heading down the dark path of the Warcraft trilogy(WI,W2,W3)...imagine World of Starcraft.
*shudder.Cringe.involuntary scream*

Blizzard has already announced that they will not be making another MMORPG due to the fact it will compete with the World of WarCraft, and besides the name would be probably Galaxy of StarCraft or something.

But the races would be probably, Zerg, Terran, Protoss and Hyprid.

ugh. Seriously, those kinds of mods are lame. Don't try to continue the story of Starcraft. Make your own storyline within the current confines of Starcraft. My basic rule of thumb is, if it tries to continue or compete with Starcraft's storyline, or if it offers information that may likely be contradicted at some point by a future Starcraft game, don't do it.
